<p>Architecture that facilitates a user experience for continuing computer and/or application tasks across user devices. Task status can be synchronized across devices via a cloud service or via a short range wireless peer-to-peer (P2P). When applied to searching, for example, the user experience enables users to resume the same search session across devices in several ways. The disclosed architecture can also be extended to other tasks such as web browsing, online meetings, office application sessions, etc. The client application of each device collects the states of each application (e.g., document links, websites, online meeting information, etc.) as part of the synchronization, and uses the states to resume the same applications on different devices (e.g., open the same word processing document, a browser to the same websites, re-join online meetings, etc.).</p> |
